Compared with the prior art, the hydrogenation process and the hydrogenation system for treating the high-nitrogen raw material have the following advantages:
1. in the hydrogenation process for treating the high-nitrogen raw material, the high-nitrogen raw material is firstly separated and reasonably graded in a hydrofining reaction zone, the pore volume of a catalyst in the hydrofining reaction zone is firstly reduced and then increased from top to bottom, the hydrogenation activity is in a reduction trend, the hydrogenolysis capacity is in an increase trend, high-nitrogen fraction rich in condensed ring nitrogen-containing compounds (such as carbazole and the like) is firstly subjected to heterocyclic hydrogenation saturation reaction on a catalyst bed layer with strong hydrogenation activity at the upper part, and the poor-quality high-nitrogen raw material can be treated under mild operation conditions while the operation period of the whole hydrogenation system is prolonged. The problems that the service life of the catalyst is shortened and the economic benefit of the device is poor due to the fact that modes such as reducing feeding amount and improving reaction temperature are relied on in the prior art are solved.
2. In the hydrogenation process for treating the high-nitrogen raw material, the high-nitrogen fraction flows through all catalyst beds in the whole hydrogenation refining reaction zone, the volume space velocity of the hydrogenation refining catalyst bed at the upper part of the hydrogenation refining reaction zone is obviously reduced due to the cutting-out of the low-nitrogen fraction, the removal of nitrogen impurities in the high-nitrogen fraction is realized through the catalyst with strong hydrogenation activity at the upper part, and meanwhile, the impurities in the raw material enter the hydrogenation refining reaction zone from the feed inlet at the middle lower part of the reactor, so that the impurities are not concentrated and accumulated on the catalyst bed at the uppermost layer, but are uniformly distributed in the whole reaction zone, and the operation period of the hydrogenation refining reaction zone is prolonged.
3. In the hydrogenation process for treating the high-nitrogen raw material, the high-nitrogen raw material is firstly separated and reasonably graded in the hydrofining reaction zone, so that the temperature rise of the uppermost catalyst bed layer of the hydrofining reaction zone and the outlet temperature of the reaction zone are obviously reduced, the temperature rise of each bed layer is uniform, the economic benefit brought by the consumption of cold hydrogen is reduced, and the operation difficulty is also obviously reduced. The problems that in the prior art, the temperature rise of the whole reaction zone is not uniformly distributed (the temperature rise of a hydrofining reaction zone is mainly concentrated on the uppermost catalyst bed layer, and the temperature rise of the lower part of the reaction zone is obviously lower than that of the upper part of the reaction zone), a large amount of cold hydrogen needs to be injected between the catalyst bed layers to increase the operation cost, and meanwhile, the outlet temperature of the hydrofining reaction zone is higher and the inlet temperature of a cracking reaction zone is not matched are solved.
4. In the hydrogenation process for treating the high-nitrogen raw material, the middle distillate (diesel oil and aviation kerosene) is circulated to the hydrofining reaction zone through the feeding port at the middle lower part, so that on one hand, the chemical raw materials (naphtha and tail oil) can be produced to the maximum extent, and the product quality can be improved.
